Hi all,

My kids have hijacked my Ipad, and I can no longer take it with me for business trips.

I was thinking of buying an ipod touch primarily for reading ebooks on the go and facetime. I had an ipod touch 2G which had terrible battery life when using ibooks. Can anyone give me an indication of the battery life in the 4th gen device?

Assuming wifi turned off, brightness at mid level, how many hours can I read on it?

Edit - I won't get an ipad 2, I'd rather wait till the retina display comes with ipad 3.
